NVIDIA has just released the GeForce Game Ready 580.97 WHQL driver for its graphics cards. According to the green team, this driver adds support for Hellblade 2 Enhanced Edition and the DLSS 4 MFG Update for GTA 5 Enhanced Edition.
From what I can see, this driver does not have any new bug fixes. So, if you are not planning to play these two games, you can safely skip it. It also does not include any new version of the NVIDIA App.
The driver fixes one main problem with the Samsung 57” Odyssey Neo G9. NVIDIA says it has fixed the flicker and screen underflow issues that could happen when the monitor was just idling on the desktop. The GeForce 580.97 WHQL driver also fixes a problem on some laptops where the screen looked dim when an external HDR monitor was plugged in and the display mode was set to “NVIDIA GPU only.”
Since I already own Hellblade 2, I might take a look at the DLSS 4 MFG implementation once its update goes live. As for GTA 5 Enhanced, I could not make it work on my PC when it launched. So, I won’t most likely bother with its new update.
You can go ahead and download the GeForce Game Ready 580.97 WHQL driver from this link. Below, you can also find its complete changelog. So, be sure to check it out.
Stay tuned for more!
